The Commodore, St. Paul, MN
This Roaring-Twenties built property, in the Cathedral Hill District just north of the biggest mansions on Summit Avenue, has attracted my attention in the past. But now, as the home of a new Art Deco, Jazz Era Bar and Restaurant, it has become irresistible, with its glamorous, eye-popping and optical illusion-inducing decor, and its historical associations with F. Scott Fitzgerald, Sinclair Lewis, speakeasies and gangsters. Above the restaurant and bar are condos, which long ago replaced the original residential hotel.
